Individual Treatment Plan
“The right orthodontic treatment depends on your teeth alignment, bite, jaw relationship, gum health, bone support, treatment goals and ability to follow instructions. Careful assessment helps determine the most suitable approach.”
– Dr. Kashmira Jathar Dental Clinic
Which Orthodontic Treatment Do You Need?
Signs You May Need an Orthodontic Assessment
You don’t need to decide which orthodontic appliance is right for you before booking. An individual assessment helps determine the appropriate option.
The ProblemYour teeth are crooked or crowded
An orthodontic alignment assessment
The teeth, bite, gums and overall oral condition can be assessed before deciding whether braces, clear aligners or another orthodontic approach is suitable.
Crooked or crowded teeth can affect the appearance of your smile and may make brushing and cleaning more difficult.
The ProblemYou have gaps or widely spaced teeth
A teeth-spacing assessment
The cause and extent of spacing, tooth position, bite and gum health can be considered when planning alignment treatment.
Spaces between teeth can affect smile appearance and, depending on their cause, may be addressed with orthodontic treatment.
The ProblemYour bite feels uneven or uncomfortable
A bite and jaw-relationship assessment
Treatment planning considers tooth position, upper and lower jaw relationships, bite, gums, bone support and the movements required.
Overbite, overjet, underbite, crossbite, open bite, deep bite and uneven tooth contacts are orthodontic concerns that may require assessment.
The ProblemYou are considering braces or clear aligners
An individual orthodontic treatment plan
Metal braces, ceramic braces, clear aligners or Invisalign may be considered depending on your alignment, bite, gum health, goals and ability to follow treatment instructions.
Braces and aligners are not interchangeable for every case. The appropriate appliance depends on the diagnosis and movements required.
What Are Orthodontics Treatment Options?
Orthodontics can replace crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth with individual, selected, clear or clear aligner options. The appropriate choice depends on the number of crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, gum and bone health, bite, aesthetics, comfort, medical factors, time and budget.
Orthodontic Planning Can Consider
The right orthodontic appliance depends on your anatomy, number of crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, bone and gum health, bite, expectations and long-term maintenance needs.
Orthodontic Options for Missing Teeth
Complete, selected, clear and clear aligner orthodontic appliances can be considered according to your crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, gums, bone, bite, comfort, aesthetics and individual treatment needs.
Metal Braces
Fixed metal brackets and archwires can be used for a broad range of tooth movements and bite corrections. Treatment commonly requires regular adjustment appointments.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets and are less noticeable than traditional metal brackets while remaining a fixed orthodontic appliance.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are removable transparent trays used for selected alignment and bite problems. They require consistent wear and are not suitable for every case.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a branded clear-aligner system. Treatment includes examination, digital planning, aligner delivery, monitoring and refinement when needed.
Teeth Alignment
Orthodontic treatment can address crooked, crowded, rotated, protruding or widely spaced teeth and selected dental midline discrepancies.
Bite Correction & Retention
Treatment may address overbite, overjet, underbite, crossbite, open bite and other malocclusions. Retainers are important after active treatment because teeth can move naturally.
Planning the Right Orthodontic Treatment for You
Denture planning may include clinical examination, periodontal assessment, X-rays when indicated, CBCT when 3D information is needed, intraoral scanning or impressions, occlusal analysis, photographs and assessment of teeth and bite and bone and gum health.
Digital Orthodontic Planning
Intraoral scans, digital models, photographs and computer-assisted planning may be used to understand tooth position and plan treatment when appropriate.
Diagnostic Records
Assessment may include dental X-rays, cephalometric analysis and 3D imaging such as CBCT when clinically justified and additional information is needed.
Treatment Monitoring
Orthodontic treatment includes regular review of tooth movement, bite, oral hygiene, appliance condition and the need for adjustments, elastics or refinements.
Worried About Orthodontics or Missing Teeth?
Choosing a orthodontic appliance can feel difficult when you are unsure about comfort, appearance, retention or the differences between treatment options. An assessment can help you understand the choices available for your individual situation.

Your concerns.Understood first.
Clinical Assessment
The teeth, bite, gums, oral condition and upper and lower jaw relationship are assessed.
Full assessment.Before planning.
Diagnostic Records
Photographs, digital scans, X-rays or other records may be recommended when additional information is needed.
Relevant records Only when needed.
Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
The findings are used to determine the orthodontic problem, treatment goals and suitable appliance options.

When Should You Consider Orthodontic Treatment?
Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, bite and facial or lip support. A orthodontic appliance assessment helps determine which replacement options may be suitable for your individual situation.
Will I Need X-Rays or Other Diagnostic Records?
Depending on your case, assessment may include X-rays, cephalometric analysis, CBCT when 3D information is clinically justified, intraoral scanning, digital models and photographs.
Orthodontic Concerns That May Need Attention
Looseness, sore spots, worn teeth alignment, fractures, changes in bite and altered fit can affect orthodontic appliance comfort and function and may need assessment.
When Urgent Medical Care Is Needed
If you have severe swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms require urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine orthodontic appliance appointment.
Orthodontic Concerns That May Need Assessment
Denture problems can develop as tissues and jaw relationship shape change, teeth alignment wear or the fit of the orthodontic appliance changes. Assessment helps determine whether adjustment, refinement, refinement, repair or replacement is appropriate.
What Happens During a Orthodontic Assessment?
Denture treatment begins with an individual assessment of your crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, gums, bone, bite and expectations. The appropriate orthodontic appliance option and follow-up needs are then discussed.
Discuss Your Missing Teeth
Explain which teeth are missing, any current orthodontic appliance problems, your comfort or appearance concerns and what you hope to achieve.
Assess Teeth, Gums & Bone
The assessment may include teeth and bite, periodontal condition, gum tissues, jaw relationship shape, bone and gum health, bite and other factors relevant to orthodontic appliance planning.
Plan the Denture
The appropriate option is discussed based on the number of crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, gum and bone health, bite, expectations, time and budget.
Assessment, Fit & Next Steps
If additional information is needed, X-rays, CBCT, intraoral scanning, impressions, photographs or occlusal records may be used. The findings help determine the appropriate orthodontic appliance design and follow-up plan.
Different Orthodontic Problems May Need Different Approaches
Missing teeth can be managed with individual, selected, clear or clear aligner orthodontic appliances, as well as other replacement options. The appropriate approach depends on your anatomy, teeth and bite, gums, bone, bite, expectations, time and budget.

A Personalized Approach to Orthodontic Care
No two orthodontic situations are exactly the same. Denture planning is influenced by the number of crooked, crowded or widely spaced teeth, teeth and bite, gum and bone health, bite, facial support, aesthetics, medical factors, expectations, time and budget. For this reason, the orthodontic appliance should be planned after individual assessment.
Factors We Consider
- • Age
- • Oral hygiene
- • Previous dental treatment
- • Existing restorations
- • Dental history
- • Diet
Individual Orthodontic Factors

Your orthodontic appliance should be based on your individual needs.
